Zephaniah 3:14-17 have become a favorite. As I recall it to my mind over and over again, it sinks into my bones, but having reread it this afternoon online, I realized I missed some of the verse! Here it is again:

14 Sing, O daughter of Zion!

Shout, O Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!

15 The LORD has taken away your judgments,
He has cast out your enemy.
The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst;
You shall see disaster no more.

16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:
“ Do not fear;
Zion, let not your hands be weak.

17 The LORD your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”

I was walking with my Beloved this morning, and we were discussing my spiritual role in the lives of the women around me, revealing to me that I am a spiritual sister/mother. That each individual is liken to a talent, and that the time I spend with them increases their spiritual value. Of course in the same breathe, He said I can't do this by myself.

It's true. The only way I can reach these women is if I am nourished by my Beloved, spend time with Him, share with Him, reveal to Him my heart, allow Him to pursue me, daily ransom me. He, of course, is becoming more and more beautiful to me, and I can't help but want to spend more and more time with Him - to daily embrace the one Person in my life whose love is tender, passion and compassion is complete!

I am truly blessed, and yet I feel saying this is so minimal. I know that I must share this blessing, share what it is like to be loved by Him! Words are always useless, so to action I am called. May He give me the right motions to share in the lives of the women around me. Amen.

A text I want to share that is impacting my life on a daily basis.

Sing, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice, O daughter of Jerusalem! The LORD has taken away your judgement, He has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel is in your midst, you shall not see disaster no more. ~ Zephaniah 3:14-16
